an isotope is a triangle with 2 equal sides silly goose!
The isotope of fluorine (F) commonly referenced is fluorine-19 (¹⁹F). It has 9 protons, 9 electrons, and 10 neutrons. The number of protons defines the element as fluorine, while the number of neutrons distinguishes this specific isotope.

An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
average atomic massof an element=(Atomic mass of first isotope X % of that isotope) + (Atomic mass of second isotope X % of the second isotope)

Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
Regular elements contain regular neutron number and the same number of protons and neutrons. Isotopes have different neutron numbers than the original element, but the same number of protons and electrons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Some elements have more than one isotope and some don't. The isotopes of an element are chemically identical, they just differ in mass. There is nothing special about any particular isotope, elements with them are just as 'regular' as the few which don't.

An isotope of Neon. This isotope accounts for between a fifth and a quarter of the element.
its nucleus is unstable
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
It is called an isotope.
The antonym for isotope is non-isotope. An isotope refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, whereas non-isotope would refer to atoms of the same element having the same number of neutrons.
